I just pulled my FAL apart and did as instructed. I chucked up the trigger plunger in my drill, put a little lapping compound on a cleaning patch and polished away. I paid particular attention to the tip where it contacts the trigger. I then leveled and polished the contacting surface on the back of the trigger. I took the sear and hammer out and stoned the contacting surfaces. I then took a little metal off the bottom of the hammer to shorten the pull. All-in-all, I think I knocked about 4 pounds off the pull weight. It feels like about 8-10 pounds now and is very smooth. I've got to find a good spring for the trigger plunger and I'll be set. One thing I also did was polish up the face of the hammer so that the bolt would retract better. This took me about an hour and a half as I'd never really broken down the trigger mechanism before.
